The Space In Between

There is a space between love and hate

before the confusion and heartbreak

It's where love goes for a time out

where your brain categorises things

to break it down

It's where you list your pros and cons

and sometimes where you go to justify your wrongs

It's where your mind shelters in place

Bracing for the impact

that comes from the choices you create

It's where the pacing stops

and the waiting begins

where you can mend the damages

of your prior sins

It's where life waits

for you to move

and you get to decide

what path to choose

It's where you can cry, laugh or fold

It's where you can start fresh

and say out with the old

It's where a new journey can begin

or an old one can flourish

It's where you try to mitigate any damage

while trying to not get discouraged

It's where you can push yourself to the brinks

to follow your dreams

and be the best you can be
